52Navigation System
Distance and Time to
Destination
When you select a destination, the
distance to the destination is the actual
road distance of the calculated route,
and not “as the crow flies.” When
viewing a list of destinations (points of
interest), such as restaurants, the
distance is “as the crow flies” (see Sort
by Distance to Travel on page32).
The displayed time to the destination
may differ from the actual travel time
because the time is calculated based on
the posted road speed data and your
current speed. If part of your route
includes unverified roads, the “distance”
and “time to go” for that portion is
estimated using 25 mph as an average
speed.
Map Menu
When the map screen is displayed,
pressing in on the Interface Dial
displays the Map menu. If the map is
scrolled, the Map menu will not
appear. Move the Interface Dial left or
press the CANCEL button to return to
the basic map screen.
Voice - Button shown if currently en
route. Select to hear the next guidance
maneuver (see page 53).
Directions - Button shown if currently
en route. Select to see a list of directions
to your destination (see page 53). North-up/Heading-up - Select
Heading-up or North-up
button to
change map orientation. See Map
Orientation on page57 for details. On
scales greater than 1 mile, this button is
grayed out (North-up only mode).
Show Icon on Map - Allows you to
select the icons displayed on the map
(for a thorough description of this
feature, see Showing Icons on the Map
on page 60).
By voice control, you can select the icon
by saying the name of the icon (“gas
station,” “ATM,” etc.). Say the icon
name again to turn the icon off.

Map Scale
Rotate the Interface Dial knob or say a voice command such as “Display 1/2 m
ile scale” (see page140) to change the scale of
the map. Zooming in increases the detail, while zooming out gives you a view of a wider area. After changing the scale, give th e
system a few moments to update the display.
Functions available at various map scales
NOTE:
You can change between miles or kilometers in SETUP (see Units on page 84).

Navigation System57
Driving to Your Destination
Map Orientation
The map can be orientated two ways:
• North-up: North pointing up as you
would normally view a paper map.
• Heading-up: The map constantly rotates so the road you are driving on
always points up (as you see the road
through your front windshield).
NOTE:
The red arrow in both heading symbols
always shows the direction north. Push in on the
Interface Dial on the
map or guidance screen and select
North-up or Heading-up to switch
between the available orientation, or say
“Display heading up” or “Display north
up.”
In the larger map scales (above 1 mile or
1.6 kilometer), the map is always
oriented with north facing upward. You
cannot change the orientation.
NOTE:
For information on the available voice
commands, see Voice Command Index
on page 139.
Destination Icon
The destination icon only shows the
approximate location of the destination.
This occurs because a city block can
have as many as 100 possible addresses
(for example, the 1400 block is followed
by the 1500 block). Most cities use only
a portion of the 100 possible addresses
(for example, in the 1400 block, the
addresses may only go up to 1425
before the 1500 block starts). Therefore,
the address 1425 will be shown a
quarter of the way down the block by
the system instead of near the end of the
block where the destination is actually
located.
Tip:
When en route, you can view a map
showing your destination. Using voice
control, say “Display destination map.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Guidance, Routing
ProblemSolution
The navigation does not route me the same way I would go, or
the way some other mapping progr am displays. Why is this?The navigation system attempts to
generate the optimum route. See
Changing Routing Method on page47.
Why is the street I’m on not shown on the map? It has been
here for more than a year. The mapping database is
constantly undergoing revision. See page111 for
ways to obtain the latest de tailed coverage information.
The vehicle position icon is not following the road, and the
“GPS icon” text in the upper left hand corner of the screen is
white or missing. • The GPS antenna (located under
the dashboard) may be blocked by
personal items. For best re ception, remove items from the dashboard, such
as radar detectors, cell phones, or loose articles.
• Metallic tinting or other aftermarke t devices can interfere with the GPS
reception. Please see your dealer. Also see System Limitations on
page 104.
I entered a destination, but th e blue highlighted route and
voice guidance stopped, or turned into a blue/pink dashed line
before I got to my dest ination. Why is this? Your route has entered
an unverified area. See Unverified Area Routing on
page 86.
The map rotates while I make turns. How ca n I stop this? Select the North-up map orientation by voice, or by selecting “North-up ”
from the Map menu . See Map Orientation on page 57.
Sometimes, I cannot select between the North-up and
Heading-up map orienta tions. Why is this? The Heading-up map orient
ation can only be shown in the lower scales
(1/20 - 1 mile scales). See Map Scale on page56.
While driving to my destinati on, the “time to go” display
sometimes increases, even though I am getting closer. The “Time to go” is based on actual
road speeds. However if your speed
slows down when you encounter slower traffic, the system updates the
“Time to go” based of your actual spee d to give you a better estimate of
arrival time.
The vehicle position icon on the map “lags” a short distance
behind, especially when I arrive at an intersection. Is there
anything wrong? No. When at an intersection, the syst
em is unaware of the width of the
intersecting road. Large differences in vehicle position can indicate a
temporary loss of the GPS signal. See GPS Reception Issues on page104.

Navigation System137
Glossary
Initialization - This refers to the period
needed to reacquire the GPS satellite
orbital information whenever the
navigation system power has been
disconnected. This can take 10 to 45
minutes with the ve hicle out in an
open area.
LCD - Liquid Crystal Display. The
navigation screen.
Map Matching - The received GPS information allows the navigation
system to position the vehicle on the

used for receiving voice commands.
It is located near the map light in the
ceiling. MW -
Maneuver Window. While en
route to a destination, this window
displays information about the next

Off Route - This occurs when the user leaves mapped roads. Off-road
tracking dots (“breadcrumbs”) are
displayed if the option is enabled in
the SETUP screen. The user can use
them to return to a mapped road. The
bottom of the navigation screen will
say, “Not on a digitized road.”
Outlying Areas - These are rural areas
that typically have only their main
roads mapped. All other roads are
shown in light brown for reference
only, since they have not been
